Also discussed: The Doctor Who Hears Voices; Paul O’Grady; Shameless; Skins; Friday Night Project; Peep Show; and Come Dine With Me.

Starting them young
The latest documentary from the Cutting Edge stable, Strictly Baby Fight Club, has kicked off a massive debate in the Culture Forum, and there are also discussions in the Big Brother and News Forums, as people scrutinise martial arts, youngsters and pushy parents. Let the folks at The TV Show know if you want to debate this on the next programme.
Sex, Lies and the Murder of Meredith Kercher – last week’s Cutting Edge was also a talking point, in the Culture Forum. The Cutting Edge Editor wants your feedback on this series.

As the Dispatches series Immigration - The Inconvenient Truth, marking the 40-year anniversary of Enoch Powell’s contentious speech, concluded last week, viewers flocked to the Dispatches Forum to join the programme maker and commissioning editor this month’s biggest forum debate. See previous Forum Buzz for more discussions on this series.

Sorely missed
Paul O’Grady has been under the weather of late [but is back this week] and fans have been sick with worry. As rumours and newspaper reports did the rounds, forum fans ended up literally begging the PoG team for news.
As both Shameless and Skins reach the end of their present series, we find the fans reflective. Shameless fans are debating what’s been the best series so far and Skins fans are soliciting opinions on the ending.

Food for thought
Come Dine with Me is back. The new series kicked off with a celebrity version, but not all fans are convinced by the new prime-time show, but it’s still as bigger talking point as ever in the Big Brother Forum.
Your opinion is sought on The Friday Night Project, as the 4Laughs team asks for your views on the best and worst presenters. Also in the ComedyZone, fans are looking forward to the return of Peep Show.

Last week's Forum buzz discussed I Am The Elephant Man: A Bodyshock Special; Shipwrecked; Cotton Wool Kids; Dispatches: Immigration - The Inconvenient Truth; The TV Show; Cook's tour of Spain; Dispatches: Undercover in Tibet; Cutting Edge: Sleeping With My Sister; and Poppy Shakespeare.
